I was wondering if there is a way to import multiple
contacts into a distribution list at one time. I have XP
PRO with Outlook 2002

Do these Contacts reside in your Contacts Folder?

Yes I have them all in my contacts folder. I have
seperated my contacts by categories. I'm looking for a
shortcut since I have just under 2000 total contacts. I
would like to select a group of about 175 of those for a
DL. Any thoughts?

Change the Contacts Folder View to by Category. Right click and drag the
Category required to a newly created Contacts subfolder then choose Copy.
Make sure the new subfolder has been enabled as an email address book by
right clicking on it and choosing Properties > Outlook Address Book Tab >
and check the box to enable as email address book. Create your new
Distribution List and make sure the Show Names drop down field points to
this new subfolder then shift select all the contacts.
